A 336 in 44 Magnum?

[offhand35]

I noticed what was obviously a Marlin in the rack at a the local range store.
I was quite surprised to find it to be a Model 336 in 44Mag! It has very dark wood, like the 444 I used to have from the 1960's. Scoped with a Lyman 1.75-5x in a Savage mount. Action was smooth as silk. Just a little rust pitting near the end of the bbl, not on the muzzle.....

So did it follow you home? If you are not buying you might put up the info on the shop so another of the members can get a shot at it.

P.S. I have two of them and they are great rifles.

offhand35,
I have a 336 in 44 mag setting right behind me. There is a Bushnell scope on it. It has a AA serial number, I guess making it a 1965. It also has a straight stock and a gold saddle ring. This rifle, has a dark wood, but no bright shine, as has been typical in more recent times.
At first, I found the long stroke of the 336 action strange, with the stubby cartridges, but got used to it when I saw some of the groups. It is not the most accurate Marlin I have, but it will hold it's own for my intended uses. Highly recommended!

No, it did not follow me home.....I'm currently putting my funds together for another project, and couldn't let the 44mag interrupt me.....
I guess the appropriate place to post the info would be in "Rifles for Sale"....

BTW, this one also has the straght grip and brass saddle ring.....
